Sarah Pidgeon Channels Carolyn Bessette

“There were collectors that we were able to pull from—and whether or not it was the actual piece that she herself wore, they wore the same pieces from the same collection,” Pidgeon told Vogueand about channeling Bessette via vogue. “We found her Prada and Valentino coats, and fitted some Levi’s so that they looked exactly how they fit Carolyn.”

Plus, she continued, “The shoes that I got to wear were incredible—Manolo heels, Prada boots. I got a lot better at walking in heels after the show, I’ll tell you that much.”

And whereas Pidgeon has acknowledged that there’ll eternally be one thing enigmatic in regards to the late fashion icon, a reluctant public determine due to the doomed love story that ended together with her and Kennedy’s deaths in a aircraft crash in 1999, the actress hopes that she finally helped to make her appear extra human, if not precisely relatable.

“What I hope is that people feel a little closer to knowing the woman behind the clothes,” Pidgeon defined. “She is known as this minimalist fashion icon, but I learned that she was also vivacious, funny, and had a wildness about her.”
